I was into slot cars and then RC during Junior High ended out as a Freshman ( got into paintball ). Stadium Blitzer was my first kit followed by the RC10T
Just picked one of these up off ebay with high hopes and to add to my collection. Need to source a replacement body either an original or TBG but it is coming with original decals which is huge! Looking for to it arriving!
Those purple Futaba speed controls were really good. Throttle was really smooth and they were a lot smaller than most other budget reversing ESCs. Tamiya sold rebadged versions with different colored cases for a while.
Thanks. It didn't really last long. As soon as I get it back up and running, I'll give it another shot. Not really going to launch it like the modern day stuff. Thanks for the comment.
This makes me sad.. this was my 1st hobby grade RC. I bought it in middle school with my dad then assembled it in my uncles shed.. now I'm 36 and kinda want another one.
My favorite tamiya truck. I'm still looking for one, but slim pickings on ebay (UK). I'm hoping RCKicks will sell his when he realises he needs to free up cash for his Avante addiction.
I have one and I was impressed with just how nice it drives and the suspension works really well. A fab little truck. Nice video !! :)
Thanks. I’m going to try to get it up and running again as soon as i have some spare time. Going to give it another shot at the skatepark.

Haha and I thought I was addicted. He’s really addicted!
Is it 12mm?
I have one. Great truck. I got BNIB.
Thanks for the comment. Yes I really like it to. I’d like to get my hands on a BNIB one as well.
I would have never taken it to the skatepark I wouldn't take any of my cars to the skatepark.
Bro can you please dust off this sweet truck for a video this year?
